The first wave

[Nuclear W 0]

Dateline, 1954

At 4:45 GMT today, American  guns fired at the South American Coalition’s (SAC)  defensive bunkers in what used to be Northern Mexico. American conscripts decimated local towns, burning and destroying everything in their path. America has been hostile to the SAC ever since it was taken over by the military government of President  Igor Stankosvy, who, under orders from Russia, rigged the presidential elections, and even went as far as sending a specially trained Death squad to his opponent , Dwight D Eisenhower’s  home.

Stankosvy, who imposed compulsory 10 year military service for the American people, has built up his military to an estimate of over 5,567 heavy tanks, 4.8 million troops, and  over 1 million serviceable aircraft.

 As American artillery rained from the sky, mechanised infantry divisions mounted on jeeps and half-tracks, roared through the once impregnable ‘Amazon Wall’, the largest fortification structure on the planet. The SAC enjoyed air superiority, however, bringing down over 70 U.S. aircraft, for a loss of only 14 fighters. This glory was soon lost however, as the fast moving mechanised infantry divisions swarmed over front line fighter bases. The U.S military claims it is only 40 miles from Mexico City, which it was estimated would take one week to fall. If American tanks do enter Mexico City, however, it is assured that civilians will form a militia, using any means necessary to stop the Stars and Stripes flying over their capital

Basically, I'm starting a mod for OFP about a fictional American invasion of South America. The problem is, I can't use oxygen, so I need the help of a texturer/modeller. (Marfy, Cnl Klink?)

If you can help me please, please contact me at jwmb@blueyonder.co.uk

You dont need to be great, u just need to be able to use oxygen

Here are a few sketches of the units I need:

Feel free to comment on them!

(I know they're crap, but they are the best I can do )

Thx  for your time

Im really sorry! The reason It was just like that is I accidentaly pressed enter when I was fiddling with my scanner

Sorry!

yeah, the fictional jabberwocky stories like these get to me after a while. Im sure you put a lot of effort into the story but its not too exciting an idea to me

[Nuclear W 0]

hello?

[HuNtA 0]

hello.

I would jus like to say 2 U that your mod has a very slim chance of gettin off the ground and that it would be smarter to join an existing mod team.

Soz if I was a bit of a bummer, but its true

hi?So you have come up with this great story and would like to have it come alive,And All you need is others to do the Texturing an Modeling for this new mod you are starting.What role will you play in this MOD?Anyways,If Iwas you,I Would take the time out and learn the tools of the trade.But I do wish you luck,

...has built up his military to an estimate of over 5,567 heavy tanks, 4.8 million troops, and  over 1 million serviceable aircraft....

WHAT!!!! One million aircraft? Or even more, seeing as that's serviceable. I'd be surprised if there are that many aircraft in the modern world. You'd need an air force of twenty or thirty million people to support that many planes, at least (I haven't much idea what sort of logistical support WWII air forces needed, but that seems like a good guess to me. Modern would probably need more). That's crazy! And when you say 4.8 million troops, do you mean actual guys with guns in their hands, because that's also crazy. You need about four support guys for each combat troop (modern US army in Iraq, AFAIK, but I've heard estimates from three to eight support personnel per combat troop). Making your army also twenty to thirty million in size. The Americas have a population of less than a billion people. So the SAC needs at least 50 million men under arms, and the US must be close enough. So the US has to have two in every five men fighting (women not being in the army) and in the Americas, about 10% of the population must be fighting. Already unfeasible, but now take into account the fact that these are the most productive segments of the poplation, who make up the workforce, and suddenly it becomes even more fantastic. Plus you need more troops to replace those who die, and other things like that. Oh, and what's the point of all these men? The OFP engine won't let you use more than 3024 men (4 sides x 63 groups x 12 men per group) and even if it did, how do you propose our computers deal with million men battles? Should we all upgrade to Crays or quantum computers?

So, it's an intriguing idea, but unless you make it sensible, just forget it

EDIT: some of my post disappeared in a weird way

Look, if someone would help me with O2 I could do it on my own.

Nuclear W, I'd hate to burst your bubble, but you'd be alot better off by firstly, learning the tools of the trade: creating an independant addon of your own work first, then showcasing your addon, then use that work as a kind of resume to help out one of the mod teams struggling for experienced people.

To create a mod now, when most people who have the skills are already tied up, is a recipe for failure and disappointment.

This is just my advice, take it or leave it. I don't care.

But your mod is already kinda flawed, the SAC is already the name of another big military organisation, Strategic Air Command.

I wish you luck in whatever you do, but don't get your hopes up in starting a mod up now. Mayby learn the basics of modelling and/or texturing now, and then try your propersition again for OFP2.

Start here.

Thanks!

Ive only got 1 problem.

When I start it, a message comes up on the buldozer saying:

Cannot Open Object data3D\str borovice horska.p3d

Can anyone help?

Thx
